Default "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" and "The Fountainhead"

"Thus Spoke Zarathustra" by Friedrich Nietzsche showed me how my happiness is not dependent on others, as well as showing me how to truly use critical thinking to analyze myself and the world I live in.

"The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand showed me what the life of a man without regard for social norms or anything but his vision of the world might be like.

These books showed me thoughts it was possible that I could think, and in doing so taught me how to expand my thinking to include that which I had not considered before.
